...I may spend $1000 later.
I was shopping at a surplus store and saw a hospital grade power cord. It got the magical green dot and only $10. It is 16 AWG and quite long, good for my Corda. I replaced the old 18 AWG stock cord (from my old fax machine). Put a CD into 9000es and AKG 501 on my head and pressed play. Wow, bass is deeper and cleaner, then the vocal is sweeter. I immediately removed the AKG and ask my girlfriend to listen her favorite CD, to make sure not the 'new toy effect'. She noticed the same thing herself and refuse to remove the phones
.
I still can't understand why this happened? 16AWG vs 18 AWG is nothing on a 1 watt amp, right? This $10 makes me power cord believer.
